We’re back with the second part of Bizzong’s recap of Scares That Care Charity Weekend. This week we bring back past guest, CV Hunt to recap her time at Scares That Care and to discuss what she’s published since we last talked in addition to her new role at Grindhouse Books.

Just like last weeks’ show, we end it with some more audio snippets from the Bizzong! Live show at Scares That Care. Enjoy the ride because this is a super-sized show.

Ok, so this may not have been the Bizzong! show you were expecting. That is to say this is not the big Bizzong! Live from Scares That Care show. Not exactly. The audio from the live recording didn’t come out all that spectacular so Mr. Frank is cobbling together the listenable parts and including a full on interview with one of the participants of the live recording, John Wayne Comunale.

John Wayne has a bunch of new stuff going on so it was time to get him back on the show anyway. So welcome back past guest John Wayne Comunale where we talk about our Scare That Cares Charity Weekend experiences and dig into all the new goodies John Wayne has for you Zongers to devour.

Making lemondade out of lemons is what its all about this episode Zongers. So grab a fan and rocking chair and lets get down-home Comunale to chill out with.

This is Bizzong! And things are going to get bizarre and weird as usual Zongers!

This week’s guest is the author of GUITAR WOLF, Nicholaus Patanude and is part of the 2016 New Bizarro Author Series. I always enjoy interviewing the NBAS writers and it is a unique opportunity to get the persepective or writers who are just beginning their journey into the genre. Nicholaus has provided one of the most open behind the scenes looks at the process of pitching story ideas, fleshing them out and working on the final product for the book series.

Nicholaus also runs Psychodelic Horror Press, a publishing house he hopes he can utilize to create books that are not only a blend of high concept fiction and low brow punk driven pulp but also a book that transcends are mere vessel for words and becomes an object of beauty and artful appreciation.

So strap in Zongers ‘cuz we’re gonna get a bit real this week on Bizzong!

This weeks guest can commonly be found giving wedgies to teachers on the playground and he is often time heard giving lectures to turtles about bullseyesing womprats in his T-49 back at home. In fact, he isn’t known for any of that shit. Instead this weeks guest on Bizzong! is Nathan Carson who is really known for writing the shit out of a book called Starr Creek and drumming the shit outta drums for a band known as Witch Mountain.

Hit play like its a snare Zongers because it’s time for the Bizzong! interview of Nathan Carson! Yay!

Nathan Carson is a musician, writer, and Moth StorySlam Champion from Portland, OR. He is widely known as co-founder and drummer of the internationally touring doom metal band Witch Mountain, host of the FM radio show The Heavy Metal Sewing Circle, and the owner of the boutique music booking agency, Nanotear.

Carson’s byline can be found on hundreds of music and film-related articles in outlets such as the Willamette Week, SF Weekly, Orbitz, Noisey, Rue Morgue, Terrorizer, Metal Edge, etc.

In recent years, Carson has turned his sights toward weird fiction, earning immediate accolades and publication via Word Horde, Stone Skin Press, Strange Aeons Magazine, Fedogan & Bremer, and Lazy Fascist Press, working with luminary editors such as Ross Lockhart, Molly Tanzer, Cameron Pierce, and Joe Pulver. He is also regularly found as a panelist, reader, or attendee on the convention circuit at HP Lovecraft Film Festival/Cthulhucon, NecronomiCon, StokerCon, ReaderCon, Bizarro Con, etc.

Mandy De Sandra, gnostic, spiritualist, writer and soothsayer of the truth. This may be one of the most important episodes of Bizzong where we have a guest that reveals herself, lays bare her transformation and reveals her truth.

Mandy De Sandra is a Dept. of Labor worker by day but is an erotica storyteller at night. She lives and is from Washington, DC where she has seen things that will raise more than just your taxes.

…and now she is this weeks guest on Bizzong! Hit play Zongers and find the truth on #ZongerDay

I hope you’ve brought some pencils and crayons and some paper with you this week Zongers. We aren’t here to talk to a Bizarro writer this week. Instead Bizzong! interviews one of the preeminent Bizarro cover artists, Mr. Jim Agpalza. Jim talks about how he got started doing Bizarro book covers, his preference for drawing genitalia, an epic presidential coffee table book as well as myriad other ditties.

So lets enter the theater of the mind Zongers and hit play because its #ZongerDay!

Bizzong! keeps rolling on strong, interviewing new and exciting writers of bizarre and weird fiction week after week after week. So this week, while a bevvy of bizarro writers decended upon Chicago, Mr. Frank found one guy who didn’t go. This week Christopher Lesko joins Bizzong! to talk about his unique brand of weird fiction.

Christopher Lesko publishes his work with some real DIY sensibilities. We talk about how he makes his own cover art as well as how he’s learned to become a better self-publisher over the years. We also dive into hitting the street and selling your books out in wild where it seems to be most important.

Mr. Frank had a great time getting to know Christopher Lesko and now you too get get to know him if you just click play and make today #ZongerDay!

Are you ready for Betty Rocksteady Zongers? Well you better be because when you hit play you gonna get a fistful of Betty Rocksteady.

This is the late holiday edition of Bizzong! This week we tickle the fancy of weird fiction again. Mr. Sean Thompson, author of the NBAS 2016 book, “Hate From The Sky” joins Mr. Frank to talk about dipping his toes in the Bizarro waters, his early screenwriting jaunts and how to stand out visually in a sea of indie authors.

It’s fun. It’s dark, It’s informative and hopefully it’s entertaining. Hope your Memorial Day BBQ hangovers have cleared because it’s time to swig the hair of the dog that bit ya and hit play and listen to Sean M. Thompson on #ZongerDay

Glad you could join us once again Zongers! This week on Bizzong we reach deep into the grab bag and pull out author Tim Meyer. A name not normally assosciated with bizarre and weird fiction, Tim joins Mr. Frank this week to state his case. And it turns out he is more than qualified as a writer of weird, offbeat fiction.

But, of course, you fine Zongers are the final judge. So press play and find out for yourself, Is Tim Meyer bizarre? This podcast sure thinks so!

Hope you’ve sharpened your sweet tooth this week Zongers because we’ve got the sweetest Bizarro writer in town.
